INJUSTAH: Gamestah Injustice 2 Amateur Circuit

INJUSTAH is Gamestah’s Injustice 2 Amateur Circuit. The circuit consists of a series of fortnightly events where teams can earn Circuit points for placing in the Top 8 of each event. While not officially a part of the Injustice 2 Pro Series, the Gamestah Circuit model is based on it.

The Circuit runs online for 8 events. At the end of the 8th event, the top 8 Players are invited to an offline clash to be hosted at eLeague.GG LAN in Sydney on 30 September.

INJUSTAH is only open to players resident in Australian and New Zealand and will be played on PS4 only.

1 Circuit Format

The Circuit has two stages: an online, eight-round circuit and a LAN finals series.

1.1 INJUSTAH ONLINE

Each fortnight, starting 4 June 2017, a discrete double elimination tournament will be hosted online by Gamestah. Matches are best-of-five (bo5) and the Grand Finalist entering from the Winner’s Bracket has a second life.

Players are awarded circuit points for placing in the Top 8 of each round of INJUSTAH as follows:

An INJUSTAH Leaderboard will be created and maintained by Gamestah. Points on the Leaderboard accumulate from event to event, with the Leaderboard standings being used to seed players in subsequent events.

An INJUSTAH PRELIM Event will be hosted by Gamestah on 21 May. This is an online tournament using the same structure as the INJUSTAH Online tournaments, but no Circuit points will be awarded.
